The AI infrastructure game is way bigger than most realize.
Tech giants are sitting on over $4T in future obligations tied to AI data centers, compute, power, and long-term contracts.
$GOOGL $AMZN $META $MSFT $ORCL alone account for $3.6T:
• $1.7T in lease commitments
• $1.9T in future purchases
The kicker? Most of this isn't even on their balance sheets yet.
This isn't just capex flex—it's a massive cash flow and debt risk if AI monetization doesn't scale fast enough. The AI trade is real, but so is the financial weight behind it.
Watch how these companies manage liquidity and borrowing over the next 12-24 months. If revenue doesn't keep pace with these obligations, we'll see cracks.
